Establishing Liability for Dog Bite Injuries and Damages

Liability for dog bite injuries typically falls to the animal’s owner. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the attack, if the dog’s owner failed to take reasonable steps to keep others safe, the dog owner may be liable for any injuries their dog causes. Such liability may include being legally responsible for a victim’s necessary medical treatment, along with other damages.

Some examples of reasonable steps include:

Keeping the dog muzzled

Keeping the dog on a leash

Keeping the dog in a kennel or fenced enclosure

If the owner fails to uphold this duty of care and the dog attacks or bites someone, the owner can be liable for all damages the victim suffers.

To support your case, we obtain evidence and documentation such as:

Police reports

Photos or videos of the attack

Witness statements

Veterinary records

Medical records

Records of prior attacks

We may also use the opinions of animal training experts and others who are qualified to provide legal opinions and testimony.

Calculating Your Levittown Dog Bite Damages

Dog bites are high risk injuries and can cause serious infections. If the victim was a child, older adult, or someone with pre-existing medical conditions, this risk could be potentially life-threatening.
